1. What would be the most efficient way to launch the ball, CO2, comp air, or to use a few spinning wheels?
2. What is the lightest cheapest metals to use?
3. Can you use other motors other than the ones given in the kit? Or can you upgrade them.
4. What voltage are you running off of?
5. What is the max weight limit?
6. What is the max voltage we can use?
7. If our bot beaks on the Field can we fix it after the round and then go back on to play?
I don't have any more but i guarantee i will very soon
email me at joshworrell@msn.com please if u will.
thx and bye |
1 CO2 is not allowed and all air systems must be closed so I would recommend spinning wheels.
2 If you have the budget then titanium would be amazing to use. Practically alluminum is your best bet.
3 You can not use any other motors nore can you modify the motor, building a gear box is allowed.
4 the robot runs off a 12 volt battery.
5 The max weight is 120 lbs not including the battery or removable bumpers
6 the battry is the only power source so 12 volts
7 absolutly, every robot breaks, part of the challenge is to repair on the fly.
